I keep getting a red circle with a line diagonally across it when i try to open some sites such as photographs and now i am trying to upload some pictures to ebay and the computer wont let me. The red circle just keeps appearing.

Is it possible you can do a screen shot of it? If you press <Alt><Prt Scr> it will copy the active window to the clipboard, and you can paste it in to Paint, or some other image software. Save this as a jpg file and upload to somewhere like www.imageshack.us and post the link here. This may help us to understand the problem._________________"Microsoft programs are generally bug-free. If you visit the Microsoft hotline, you'll literally have to wait weeks if not months until someone calls in with a bug in one of our programs. 99.99% of calls turn out to be user mistakes. I know not a single less irrelevant reason for an update than bugfixes. The reasons for updates are to present more new features."
